Beauty brand: Pukka Herbs
You’ll be forgiven for thinking tea but Pukka Herbs is an Ayurveda-based wellbeing brand committed to making people feel great with more than just tea. You can treat your health and beauty gripes from indigestion to eczema with Ayurvedic offerings, (an ancient Indian healing tradition) from supplements to oils.

Fair philosophies:With herbs at the heart of Pukka teas and medicines, fair trade is top priority for founders Sebastian and Tim. Farmers in India and Sri Lanka are paid between 50 – 200% above the market wage and they have set up a new charity to help build a school and ayurvedic treatment centre for children in India.

Beauty benefits: The hero product is the Pukka Rosewater (£9.75) which is great for hydrating skin – simply spritz over face morning, day or night like a toner and pat into skin gently.

Where to buy: www.pukkaherbs.com, howonearth.co.uk independent health food shops, Fresh & Wild, Tescos, Sainsburys and Morrisons for tea.
